I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for retirement' is the definition.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for withdrawal that I've seen before include "Retreat" , "resignation" , "Exit" , "Act of taking money out of an account" , "Departure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
